Hohoho last day working as server assistant. Almost everyone knows that we are leaving on wednesday because we kept taking pictures with everyone. :p After the breakfast shift, we saw marcia (the mama manager) preparing for the server briefing for lunch. We told her that we are going to leave, and will miss her very much...and bla bla bla...Oh my goodness, she cried!!! I never know that she is such a sentimental person. Touch T_T. And a lot of servers and server assistants gave us hugs and kisses. We exchanged email address with them. Aiya but i didn't see aaron and mike.

Hohoho, MOTOR BOAT!!! Before we go, we met rachel in EDR. They are not going to bunsen peak because kelun not feeling well. So we asked Trang if we can squeeze one more ppl into her car or not. Yeah, she said she doesn't mind. So Kendra (another server) drove us there and we rent a motor boat in bridge bay marina. Wow they brought beers lor...and they were like quite surprised when we told them that all of us are underage :p. But we didn't care la...still got drink a bit...lol. We chit-chatted a lot with Trang. She is super talkative. However, Kendra is quiet and cool. She just listen to us and drink her beer. I think she quite enjoy also la. All of us had so much fun there ^_^

When we back to old faithful, we asked them to have dinner together. But both of them sounds like didn't want to eat EDR's food. Then they dropped us in laurel (our dorm) and back to bitterroot (Trang said she wanna have beer first wor...then only eat dinner). They said they will come to meet us in half an hour.

Surprisingly, they went back to bitteroot to get RICE and RICE COOKER!!! Somemore, soy sauce and CHILLI SAUCE!!!Wahahahaha....so syok!!! (coz americans don't eat spicy thing, we only have ketchup here T_T) So we cook rice and tried to find something else to eat. Me and baobao went to EDR to steal veges :p. Luckily, i met jenean in uniform in the toilet. She was hosting. I asked her to get one box to go in the kitchen for me...lol. So we had brocolli and carrot with rice for dinner. And chilli sauce~ It was YuMmY!!!!!

Trang really love alcohol very much. She bought a vodka and a lot of beers from general store. So after dinner, we had our "alcohol night". We got some juices from EDR and mix them with vodka. After that we drank beers too. I drank just a little because i didn't want to be drunk. I poured a lot of grape juice with a little vodka...hohoho...smart ler. However, Rachel down at 7 something. She vomitted all the carrot out after the alcohol effect. Baobao fell asleep at 8sth. Trang drank most of the beers after that. She had more than 10 cans of beer and half bottle of vodka. She couldn't stop talking...really talk non stop lor...Kendra, jiayen and me were the most awake one hahaha...And Trang made us promised that we will have a "drunk night" before we leave yellowstone...T_T oh my goodness~

After they left, we bathed and prepared for Dawn and louise's farewell party. They are leaving tomorrow. We called it "junk food night". We brought all our snacks to their room and planning to finish them that night. However, Dawn and Louise hadn't done their packing. We gathered in kailun and terrence's room until 12sth. We had some biscuits and chips. They open beer and wine again. Shit, wanna vomit after the alcohol dinner lo...So me, baobao and rachel just lied on the bed and ate a bit snacks only.

11th

Today ke lun is going to pick Dawn and Louise to Bozeman. Me, baobao, jenny, kailun and Sze ying followed his car to shop in Bozeman. After they settled their admin procedure, we depart at 1pm. We went to Ross first. I bought two pretty dress and a shirt there. Oh yeah and i bought a watch for my dad. Kenneth Cole one. Hmm at first i wanna buy fossil one. But everyone told me that the Kenneth Cole is better...so i listened to their advice lor...hope my dad like it la...

Then we went to The Mall. Only got one hour there. So i just window shopping and bought a USD 1.5 bath and body works lotion. Super cheap. Then we had our dinner in a chinese restaurant. Margeret recommended this restaurant to us before. Hohoho she said the boss is Penang ppl lor...but we didn't meet him. We had the real chinese food finally...wahahahaha...yummy~

And then, our last stop is walmart. Baobao and me bought the ziploc to pack our luggage. We back to the hotel after everything. Dawn and Louise failed to book the hotel in San francisco tomorrow. So they kept checking online until 1am. And we reached old faithful at 4.30am. Just now baobao and me met shan er in the bathroom lor...we were going to sleep but she was going to work...lol. Ok la...i finish my story la...good night~

6th july

Another employee's trip again. This time we are going to hike to wapiti lake in canyon village. Not very fun this time, because there were a lot of mosquitoes, and the wapiti lake trails is 16 miles @_@. We didn't go to the lake in the end. Just walked the nearer trails, nothing much special. But we saw grizzly bear on the way, phew luckily just one bear, so it dare not to attack us. It ran away quickly when it saw us. We took a lot of photos with the pretty flowers along the trail. The scenery was quite nice, just this trip didn't have a climax spot lol. However, we had fun too la...this is the last trip with faith because she is leaving on monday.

At night, we went to dining room to have dinner. There were 5 of us only (me, baobao, faith, jiayen and jenean) because other ppl all working at that night. Our appetizers are crab cake and buffalo wings. Then me and baobao shared the pork osso bucco. Faith had the ribeye bison. Jenean had pizza from kid's menu. Overall it was quite delicious la...but super full :p. We took a lot of pictures with the servers that night. I was so so so happy hohoho. Finally i took a photo with the "matrix" Jonathan, my favourite handsome Kevin O (he got a bit look like daniel wu lol) and baobao's super charming gentleman Keith (also very handsome). And also the very nice Christina with her boyfriend Brian, strong and pretty lady Cassie, my "best friend" Jennifer and many other servers.

I couldn't stop laughing after i had my photo with Kevin. Baobao was so jealous that she said she wants her own picture with Andy G, Keith and Kevin next time. LOL. Hmm me too...hahaha...Kevin looks more handsome when he is not in uniform. I must take photos with the 4 most handsome guys ( Jacob, Andy G, Keith and Kevin) and pretty lady servers (Nicole, Jordan P, Cassie and Becky) in dining room before i leave here...hohoho!!! And another cute server,Mike who is very childish (he always call baobao as "jingjing", me as "zhizhi", and i call him "mickey" :p)

When we back to our room, we drank red wine to celebrate again lol. Hmm finally we are going to leave this place. Feel very lucky to know a lot of good friends here, especially like Faith, rachel, Dawn and Terrence. ^_^

3th-4th july : Roosevelt and horseback riding

3th

Initially four of us planning to hike to summit lake which is about 9 miles away, but then rachel asked us to go roosevelt with her, terrence and kelun. So 7 of us go to roosevelt together by ke lun's car.

We went to tower falls. However the trails was in bad condition, we didn't walk the trail. I bought a very nice winter clothe with super cheap price...so happy~ Then we headed to roosevelt. On the way, we saw BEARS!!!!~~~ A mummy bear with a little cub...sooooooo cute!!!!!! We took a lot of videos and photos before the ranger came to warn us not to go near to them.

Yup...then we reached roosevelt. I rushed to the front desk and saw an employee with a name tag which written MALAYSIA! The first thing i did was to ask him where is moong kok wai. Oh yeah finally i found him...HE IS STILL ALIVE!!!!! but poor kok wai! stuck in a little place with no internet connection. Work very hard under the sunlight. Somemore the EDR food sucks...force us to have our lunch in the dining room. Erm kok wai is still ok la...haven't eaten by bear bear...just skin color become darker...so no need to worry about him.

The good thing is, he found a second job in horse corrals. He had to spend three months in roosevelt with bears(roosevelt got a lot of bears lor) and horses. And it was damn hot there that all of us got sunburnt when we back to old faithful. Before we left, kok wai gave me the hotel bear bath soup and lotion as a gift...lol. He said he will come to old faithful to find me, but i'm leaving soon...so i dunno we got chance to meet onot lo....

4th

Today is USA national day. All of them will go jackson town to celebrate and see fireworks. However me and baobao will go for our big plan -- HORSEBACK RIDING!!!~~~ First, we hopped into the circle of fire tour bus to canyon village. Made friend with a taiwan girl (page) and another guy from a country (but i forgot its name) in the bus. Saw a cayote(??some kind of fox) along the road. Second, we requested for the riding time changing from 545pm to 145pm. Wohoo then we walked for 20 minutes to the horse corrals and began our riding. Before that, we saw elk with horn...wowowow pretty elky...very lucky to see that lo. And then we met a china uncle who had a lot of experience with horseback riding. He instructed baobao a lot because she couldn't control her horse well. And the cowboy guide was so so so handsome lol. He kept hanging around us because baobao's horse kept eating grass and she was a bit panicked about it.

My horse called Sandy. She is a cute little horse. I let her to eat the grass for a while in the middle. When she realized that we were left behind, she ran towards baobao's horse. Wow this scared me and made me screamed loudly. LOL after that the handsome guide came to me and asked me what happened lor. After the scary experience i didn't dare to let it to eat grass anymore,ket pulling the rope tightly...poor sandy :p

We chatted a lot with the china uncle. We told him that we have no transport to back to old faithful. Both of us planning to hitch-hike :p And here comes the luckiest day in my life. That uncle had a car! At first he wanna drop us in the junction of the road in grant village because he is going down to town...But when we showed him the map, he said, "aiya, so near only (actually the map mentioned one hour ride)...i fetch u two back to old faithful la...bla bla bla~~!" Wahhhh we didn't even need to hitch hike lor...can go back to old faithful so easily...muahahahhahahaha

We found that the uncle really super rich. He said he got business in australia, singapore, USA and a lot of other countries. He got a 100 million bungalow in melbourne, and houses in singapore and china (Xi An). He's been to a lot of countries in europe, usa, australia and afrika...i really couldn't imagine how rich he is. Super geng!!! Somemore so nice to us...picked us back to old faithful...hohoho

When we back to old faithful, we realized that everyone is going to jackson for the celebration. We met james (a china guy who helped me a lot during working) in the dorm and went to his room to chat. It was so fun chatting with him lol...i laugh till stomachache~ And then Anny (a taiwan girl we met few days ago) gave us two packet of taiwan maggie mee. Great~Hohoho today is really a happy and lucky day ^_^
